Whew! Big concerns about computer security this last week, seems my "Twitter" account got hacked and because it was linked to my Facebook account, something appears there that I hadn't posted. Got rid of that quickly, but a few days before I'd received a virus in an email from a FB contact and stupidly opened the link. Much mess ensued.
Eventually got a computer security expert in to run more tests on my machines, and of course he found more Malware and Spyware that we eradicated. All of this had my head spinning and I realized things these days are just too unbelievably complicated! I long to escape to a cabin in the woods and live like Thoreau-- if just for a little while-- to clear my head.
When one is basically a "creative type" all this concentration on security and passwords and cyber-wackos is so draining. I need to set aside a block of time when I don't touch the computer at all and give myself some breathing room...
And, PS: I've decided I can live just fine without "Twitter"!

I hope you've had a chance to escape the computer for awhile. I heard and interesting piece on Twitter the other day: 90% of people who create a Twitter account never do anything with. I should follow in your footsteps and abandon ship. I look forward to blogging. Twittering feels like work.
